Immediately, Ye Xuan collected his mind, held the big knife in his hand, and concentrated on cutting. Because it was getting late, Ye Xuan did not stop at all, and the speed of the knife in his hand was very regular.

Finally, more than an hour later. There was no more sound of felling in the bamboo forest.

Ye Xuan was a little tired and collapsed. However, he still insisted on standing, with his left and right hands, holding the cut bamboo and walking towards the house.

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan walked to the courtyard of the house, and saw the second elder sitting comfortably on a recliner in the courtyard.

Ye Xuan put down the bamboo in his hand, walked to the second elder and arched his hand and said, "Elder Wang, Elder Xie." Today's mission is accomplished. ”

The second elder nodded, and Wang Lao said, "What do you feel in the process of cutting bamboo?"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Cutting bamboo is a technical job, it must be fast, accurate, stable, the strength must be appropriate, and there must be endurance." ”

Elder Wang nodded: "Well, continue like this, I will assess you again in half a year, and if you pass the assessment, I will pass on your Taoism." Get you started. ”

Ye Xuan was shocked when he heard this. "Assessment???I haven't heard of an assessment, but I just said that I cut bamboo every day, and I can't be lazy for more than three days, which is a passing grade." ”

Xie Lao nodded: "You're right, it's theoretically so, but there will be a mental test then." ”

"What is the heart test? I hope the second elder will tell me. Ye Xuan asked.

Wang Lao smiled and shook his head: "Keep it secret, after half a year, you will know." After speaking, Wang Lao waved his hand, "You can leave, it's not early, go to bed early, and you have to continue the daily assessment tomorrow." ”

Helpless, Ye Xuan could only nod. Then he said goodbye and left.

Back at the bamboo house, Ye Xuan lay on the bed, thinking about the next days, and suddenly felt like a nightmare, but he still had to face it strongly.

While thinking, Ye Xuan's consciousness gradually blurred and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Ye Xuan woke up, felt bored, got out of bed and picked up the big knife, looking at the still sharp blade, Ye Xuan shook his head, got out of the bamboo house, and went straight to the mountain spring.

When he arrived at the mountain spring, Ye Xuan soaked the big knife in the spring water, then found a quick whetstone and sharpened it directly. Although the blade looks sharp, Ye Xuan still thinks that it is better to sharpen it, after all, he uses it often, more than 10,000 times a day, and he is also worried that the knife in his hand will not be able to withstand it.

Finally, when the morning sun appeared above the clouds on the mountainside of the sky, Ye Xuan also stopped sharpening his knife and raised the big knife. But under the light of the morning sun, there was a faint cold light.

As a result, Ye Xuan also felt satisfied. It is said that sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters. If you grind more, at least you will have psychological comfort.

In the following days, Ye Xuan repeated the life, cutting bamboo, transporting bamboo, eating, sleeping, and living at three points and one line. Regardless of the cold or summer, it is ten bamboos, which are served as scheduled, and there is no day of absence.

In a hurry for half a year, Ye Xuan's body has become a lot stronger, although he does not have a body of perverted muscles, but under the strong body, there is also strength, in half a year, in the first three months, Ye Xuan will often feel unbearable because of fatigue when cutting bamboo, and after three months, about a hundred days later, the body will adapt to such high-intensity training.

The speed of cutting bamboo is getting faster and faster, basically there is no need to wait for the sky to get dark, and about ten bamboos can be cut from seven or eight in the morning to about four in the afternoon.

Half a year later, in the dead of winter, heavy snow covered the mountain, and Renfeng was full of snow, but no one swept the snow on the ground. The entire bamboo forest is also covered with snow.

The icicles on the eaves where Ye Xuan lived were also crystal clear. The snow on Renfeng is also extremely heavy. It looks aesthetically pleasing.

Ye Xuan was still sleeping in the room this time, and in the bamboo house, charcoal was burning. Covered with heavy bedding, it was extremely comfortable.

This futon is given by the second elder of the house in the winter, and the new disciples who come every year will have Taoist subsidies for their lives. In the past six months, Ye Xuan has been on top of Renfeng, mingling with Renfeng's brothers and sisters, and has also heard a lot of interesting stories. Of course, Ye Xuan also brought a lot of interesting stories about the Yingdu of Chu to this Renfeng.

For Yingdu, in the past six months, Ye Xuan's memory has become a little blurred with time, and the only thing he remembers is the busy traffic in the downtown of Yingdu, as well as the old people of Yefu, and of course, the maid Qing'er who gets along day and night. Pile by pile, scene by scene, but also often come to mind.

Ye Xuan also knew something about this Dao Sect.

Taoism, one of the three religions, has many people who come to worship every year. The Taoist complex under the six peaks, especially the front hall. There will be a lot of people visiting every day.

When it comes to major festivals, it's even more grand. It can be said that Taoist culture has influenced many people's code of conduct, and of course, outside of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism have also had a profound influence.

The culture of the three religions together constructs the living norms of human beings in the entire Immortal Ancient World, and of course, in addition to the three religions, there are many small sect branches.

There are also two sects of the Demon Dao, the Hehuan Sect, and the Demon Sect, which are contrary to the three sects. Of course, Ye Xuan also learned about the groups that were called "demons" in addition to humans.

The Immortal Ancient Continent, the five major continents, are all very broad, the Taoist Sect in Donghua Continent, the Buddha Sect in Xihe Continent, the Confucianism in North Luzhou, and the Demon Sect in South Zhan Continent. There are also the three sects in Zhonghuangzhou and the coexistence of all ethnic groups.

Hundreds of schools of thought and creatures of all races jointly built the entire Immortal Gu. Shared resources. Even although the three religions each occupy a continent and have far-reaching influence, there are also other sects on these three continents, and their souls are entrenched.

When great events are born in nature, when the earth is born with spiritual treasures, they are also competing with each other and fighting each other. Although there is a destructive side to the fighting, there is a yin and yang, a bad side, and a positive side, and mutual conquest, to a certain extent, also promotes the rise of the strength of each faction and each other, and the cultures of each faction will also learn from each other's strengths in attacking each other.

This invisibly also promoted the culture of the Immortal Ancient Continent, imperceptibly unified. It can be seen that the nine thousand worlds are also like this.

Of course, this is also what Ye Xuan was bored thinking about when he was chopping bamboo.

At the same time, this also leads to a problem: The various races are opposed to each other, grow up with each other, and develop each other's highest combat strength, which has also led to the improvement of the combat strength of the entire world, so what is the reason why the nine thousand worlds have increased their combat effectiveness? Could it be that the evolution of the struggle for resources is for the sake of detachment? Where is the detachment going? Is it the detachment of individuals. Or is it the detachment of all the creatures of the whole world?

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan would sometimes look up at the sky, looking at the vast sky, the sun and the moon rising and setting on time. Lost in thought. Then there must be a great desire to stand on the top, to clear the clouds, and to see the real truth. Rather than relying on the information of predecessors.

Perhaps this is the heart of exploration and enterprising that is the core of the common growth of all ethnic groups. Ye Xuan does not have the so-called view of the portal, the difference between sects, and the creatures born in this world are often experiencing hardships and sharpening their hearts. It depends on whether the individual can attain enlightenment.
